I had a few conversion problems with a particular book (EPUB to EPUB), and so was forced to delete the resulting file. I have a copy of this book along with metadata that is different from the metadata in the actual file (i.e. it is metadata from Calibre's database; or rather, my old Calibre database).

When I add the book in Calibre it treats it as a new book, assigns it a new number, and resultantly uses the metadata stored in the actual file.

Can I import it into my current database somehow?

P.S. I hope what I am asking is not too confusing.
